Stunning

It's beginning to get to the point where there are no more words, no more adjectives for the season that R.A. Dickey is having in 2012.

At this point, Dickey leads the National League in wins, ERA, WHIP, strike outs (tied for the major league lead), and complete games.  He's thrown back to back one hit shutouts.  He has his opposing batters completely flustered and lost at the plate.  He's doing all of this with a knuckleball.

It's totally amazing and such a joy to watch.  With every outing, he is more and more of a shoe-in for the All-Star game in July and showing that he deserves to be the starting pitcher.  It's a bit early for post season accolades, but maybe not, so should we start to mention the words 'Cy Young' and 'R.A. Dickey' in the same sentence?

It'll be fun to watch Dickey's next outing, that's for sure.  A Sunday night match up, on national TV, against the NY Yankees; a team that just swept the Mets not even three weeks ago.  A Yankees team that has won 10 games in a row and will match up Dickey with their ace, CC Sabathia.

This is just me, but I feel that Dickey will be up for the task.
